The strongest basket king

Chapter 146 Lakers Crisis

Chapter 146 Lakers Crisis

Meeting the Jazz again, the Nuggets played relatively easily. Facing a team with a good three-pointer, the Nuggets have always been able to take on the game calmly.

The Jazz have now fallen out of the top eight in the Western Conference. Their small inside twin towers are a little shorter, so they have no obvious advantage against outside teams and inside teams. This season has not been easy.

Now facing Jefferson, Xiang Chu's advantage is already obvious.

It's just that the Nuggets' outside line is still slow, and the start can only be supported by Xiang Chu.

The Jazz also play inside, but the efficiency is not high, and the same is true for Millsap breaking through from the outside.

But their bench is still stronger than the Nuggets, Hayward and Favors are still very reliable

And when the Nuggets had zero shots again from the outside three-pointer, the Jazz still hit two.

Don't think that the Nuggets don't usually practice shooting. Most of them are very accurate in practice, but they are still easy to be stumbled by the same hurdle on the court.

Not just the Nuggets, but many players in the league are like this.

Many people prefer to play in the way they are good at compared to the weak link that has not been improved much through hard training.

Without enough perseverance, without enough determination, only a few people can break through their own bottlenecks in the most powerful basketball league

Someone will stand up in the second quarter. This is also the practice of the Nuggets, and the outsider is probably Gallinari.

Relatively speaking, Ty Lawson's scoring time at another point on the outside is relatively average.

After Gallinari shot away, the Jazz couldn't stand it anymore.

In fact, if Gallinari was stronger, he and Xiang Chu could bring the Nuggets to the first level in the league together, but unfortunately they were still a little short.

With the rotation completely holding back, Xiang Chu and Gallinari still helped the team enter the intermission with a lead.

The third quarter is still the performance of Gallinari and Xiang Chu, and they are too powerful to attack at the same time.

"Xiang Chu scored again. He grabbed the offensive rebound. Jefferson couldn't resist at all. Now even on the offensive end, Jefferson can hardly pose a threat."

"Ty Lawson also hit a three-pointer. Oh, the Jazz just tried to flank Xiang Chu. You must know that the Nuggets are the top offensive team in the league. If they explode, the Jazz must be fully prepared."

"With the cooperation of Xiang Chu and Faried, the Nuggets' lead has reached 15 points."

Entering the rotation period, the Jazz recovered a few points, but the Nuggets still entered the final quarter with a double-digit lead.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Iguodala showed off his power with a substitute. Xiang Chu entered the garbage time before he came up to the game, and he scored a double-double of 25 points and 14 rebounds in the first three quarters.

He is not the only one who performed so well in the Nuggets. Gallinari also scored 26 points in the case of clocking out in three quarters. The Jazz lost unjustly

The Nuggets have restrained all teams that are not strong in three-pointers this season. It is useless to be strong inside. Xiang Chu is not afraid of anyone in the three-second zone. It can be said that it is very rare for the Grizzlies to win the game.

They should be a strong team in the second tier now. Whether the performance is higher or lower depends on the performance of the players.

After the home victory over the Jazz, the Nuggets are going to Los Angeles to play back-to-back against the Lakers.

The Lakers have lost streak again during this time, and Lakers fans who think that they can kill other teams as long as they adapt to the new lineup and work harder may be disappointed.

Xiang Chu actually didn't understand, not counting Nash, Gasol and others, only Kobe and Howard shouldn't be labeled like this.

It is a bit inappropriate for D'Antoni to let a group of old guys bombard him. The Lakers should not have fired Mike Brown so early. Brown may not play well with the team, but it shouldn't be worse than it is now.

Another big reason is that Kobe is already old. Although he has not yet reached the age where he can't play, his statistics have not declined, and some statistics have improved, but Kobe is often holding on.

It might be better if Kobe tweaked his game a little bit, but he's Kobe, No. [-] in All-Star voting, fans love him, and he can't change.

Howard came to the Lakers with a big gap, and he was unwilling to make too many changes. Their lineup has never inspired enough sparks.

But because of their reputation, no one dares to underestimate them.

In the Lakers game, any result is normal, and the Nuggets are mentally prepared.

When I met Howard on the court again, Howard, who was usually smiling, looked at Xiang Chu with murderous eyes. The two definitely had no personal grievances, but the outside world kept comparing the two, and they had to show their attitude.

At this time, there is no need for hello and me, and you have to fight when you are on the court.

Compared with the Nuggets, the pressure on the Lakers is greater now. They have received too much attention. There have been news of infighting before. Someone broke the news that Kobe and Howard were at odds.

Howard was a little careless when facing the media, and some speeches were over-interpreted by the outside world.

In this case, even if the relationship between the two is not so exaggerated, it will be affected. The key is grades.

Xiang Chu's first attack was to use a new offensive method to single out Warcraft, but this time he failed and was blocked by Howard.

This also reminded Xiang Chu that Howard was in front of him and not anyone else, so he had to be more cautious.

At least fear, not at all, professional players being blocked is nothing, just get back.

When the Nuggets attacked for the second time, Xiang Chu grabbed the offensive rebound and smashed the basketball into the basket.

He gave Howard a provocative look back, and Howard almost couldn't hold back.

"Young boy, I won't let you go this time."

"I will accompany you at any time, but you still hope that your outside line can give you a hand, otherwise you will only lose."

Howard gritted his teeth. He deliberately put on a serious look at the beginning, but now there is no need to deliberately. Xiang Chu, a bastard, is just like his fans. He has to fuck him once.

In the previous two times, his statistics were still a bit disadvantageous, and Howard couldn't show the dignity of his predecessors.

However, Howard's status in the Lakers is really not as high as that of Xiang Chu in the Nuggets, and D'Antoni's tactics are biased towards the outside. If Xiang Chu had him, he would not have spoken so early.

The Lakers changed their lineup this time, in fact, they brought Artest back to the starting lineup. They can only make this kind of adjustment now, and they can't put one of the four kings on the bench.

Poor Artest used to be an All-Star, but now he can only make patches.

There is nothing wrong with this adjustment. Artest’s characteristics are not suitable for playing as a sixth man. It is reasonable to use cold arrows around the star to help defend. Mike Brown used a lot of games last season to understand this truth. D’Antoni is here again again.

No wonder some fans think that he can play him.
